RBL Magazine Issue 5 Volume 1

Welcome back to another week of RBL. Hope you guys had fun last week, more no shows than I would like, but, shit happens. I'm a little under the weather, so I'm going to make the Intro short and sweet. First the recap, then a preview, then the highlights, close with power rankings. The End.

T.a.C dropped some nice lines. He pretty much kicked my ass again :cry:. T.a.C had some decent personals in his verse. Copy/Paste isn't playing nice right now, and I don't have the patience to engage Linux in battle today, sorry guys. The easy road/last title shot was good, and the work for me sequence hurt :cry:

I sucked.

The End

T.a.C wins

Sonny Daze vs Gee Willikers

This was good. Sonny switched up his structure and kinda paid for it with an L. The flow was definitely awkward to catch. I think that this rhyme scheme can be done, but when it doesn't come off right... yeah. That 4G line was nice, could've been worded for more impact, but it was cool.

Gee went HAM and earned VotW. Not much to be said here; no one beats VotW. Good showing, homie!

Tbone vs Breathlesss

I didn't think this was as bad as everyone else did. Only a couple quoteables (tbone had the closer to his first stanza, breah had the OR trail line), but nothing that makes me tear up just trying to read it. Tbone did his usual straight up style and Breathless did his nasty flow with a little humor. The voters preferred Breathless this week.

Saner HxS vs C Price

Saner lost (kinda no showed) because he has shitty hardware components in his PC. Let this be a lesson to you guys: Always use high quality components with your PC i.e. don't buy your computers from OEM's. Or ditch Microsoft. Both really, since if one is advantageous, then two together are fortissimo. You guys have to appreciate that last bit. Damn, I'm good.

PC no showed. I like having you in the league, man, get that shit back together.

:cry:

So between Noble and Gram, Gram definitely had the better verse. Noble hasn't been around for a while, and is probably still shaking the dust off. He still came with some decent concepts, though. The lines T.a.C quoted from your verse were good. Really enjoyed the Cyze/Gram/non-existant line.

Gram had a nice verse, too. I almost gave you the VotW this week, but I felt that G dubs had a better showing. The opener set the tone and you didn't look back. Cyze advantage?

You too nice to people, n them hollow lines you write..
Shows being all sweet with no substance brings Sonny Delight
Tryna wu the voters over but the structure of ur ways are nonsense
Even Raekwon will tell u “Sonny Missing”…good wordplay and concepts
Its either gay or weak when you drop shit,
But by standings…you must be high as the Andes,
….and I mean Dick or Milonakis
Cant count up all the chicks I run through my game is feared
When he ‘tally hos’ he’s out for the hunt too…of bears and deers
Tried to spend the night with that bird-bitch but at sight she was done
Cuz based on your looks, it’d be hard to make that phoenix rise with the son
^I take that back, there is one chicken who wants to get served
…It’s yelling ‘Sonny Daze’ on PBS…and goes by big-bird
Gee fina punk this nobody, although he thinks he’s hard
People won’t even store you in memory when I pull SD card
Sonny slippin up plus this hit is for damn near no pay
Cuz you aint been on your job… and I’ll merk you furlough, daze

Another small-ish Mag, and late... sorry guys. I was a little under the weather this week. I'm thinking about saying I'll post it on Mondays, so that when I'm late I can still beat my Wednesday ideal. I guess I'll have to start doing this on the weekends :cry:.

Gee had the Votw no doubt, and deserved the W over me even though I disagree with the view of my structure not being effective. My only issue with Gee's verse is that he blatantly bit the "pull SD card" line I used myself the week before. Just wanted to point that out.
